There are four "Brown Peak"s in California, according to GNIS: one each in Fresno, Inyo, Kern, and Mariposa counties. Further, there are 7 in the USA overall (2 in Alaska, 4 in California, 1 in Washington). Should we disambiguate them? Or should we just give up and not make an article about every minor peak in the USA? ("Abandon hope, all ye who enter here") -- hike395 05:12, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Even worse: there are 184 records in GNIS that are summits with the word "Brown" in them. Well, not all of them are "Brown", some of them are "Browne" or "Browns", but still, this way lies madness. Should we just drop the infobox and list all "Brown" mountains? Or just give up entirely? Or is there another more clever solution? -- hike395 05:17, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
